Sitting in the Houston International at 5am, waiting to board a flight to Atlanta, then on to Walt Disney World, my hometown. It has been a humbling couple on days to be surrounded by some of our Country’s finest Medial Centers any where in the world.

Creativity & Innovation
Following up from last Thursday’s question about whether there’s a difference between transformation and inspiration. You need one to get the other, but having only one does not automatically guarantee the other. Stay with me here.
How would you describe the fundamental difference between creativity and innovation? Can you even separate the two? Here’s what I believe:
Creativity is the act of generating potentially useful ideas, in any domain.
Innovation is the act of implementing a useful idea.
Anyone can dream.
Not every one can make those dreams come true.
Creativity means nothing without innovation.

Happy Birthday Walt Disney World
Note, currently, the video is not displaying on mobile devices, even iPad.
October 1, 1971 – Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park opens.
Walt Disney’s dream for an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow started long before 1971.
The 24-minute video isn’t worth watching unless you can automatically make a business case for the chronicles of Disneyland, and then, of course, Walt Disney World.

Embrace your customers means embracing social media
Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, in a You Tube video interview said,
“Disney isn’t embracing social media. Disney is embracing the customer. The customer is embracing social media”.
Social media can provide greater opportunity to help any organization create a stronger emotional connection with their brand.
Is your company embracing social media? Are you involved in it? Do you know what a Google Alert is? Do you have a domain name? Do you have a blog? These things will be as common as a cell phone some day. There will always be people who “get it” right away, and those that are the last in line.
